in form, the smaller side being indicated at,56.

On the latter side is provided a fastening element 57 adapted to engage frictionally with the at-- taching member 58 through the slot 59. A corresponding fastening element, shown, may be provided at the lower side-of this form. The stop in this form of my bracket assembly is caused by contact of the smaller side 56 of the bracket arm with the face of the attaching i In all of the embodiments shown, prefer to use a detachable hinge pin; except as, to the embodiment shown in Figures 9, 10 and 11 inconnection. with which I have no preference asto the style of .pin to be used. I I I In operation a pair of attaching fixtures are secured in any well known manner to the .upper rail or the upper pair of stiles of an upper sash,

one of such attaching fixtures being secured at each side of the sash. 'A bracket arm is then hinged .into'each of the attaching fixtures by dove-tailing or aligning the hinge elements of the attaching fixtures with the hinge elements of the bracket arms and inserting hinge pins to connect said hinge elements in operative position. Of course'where the commercialformvof bracket. includes a hinge pin already in place,'the

attaching element maybe secured to the sash in thesame manner as in the form where the hinge pins are detachable. I II R "J A shade roller may then be mountedbetween the bracket arms andsupported in the roller carrier elements provided therefor, in the usual man ner. The bracket arms extending across the'vertical plane of the lower sash and beyond such plane, the shade will hang away from both the upper and lower sash obviating the possibility of creasing, the shade by contact therewith. Upon lowering and raising the upper sash ,it will be seen that the shade will travel therewith and at all times be shielded from the ravages of breezes blowing through the open part of the 7 I Also, it will be seen that full ventilation will result for the room equipped with my shade brackets in accordance with the size of the window openings. Furthermore, a proper circulation of air is assured by'reason of the uninterrupted open passage at the top ofthe window when the upper sash is lowered.

In case it is desired to clean the windows or paint the woodwork the shade rollers may be readily removed from their brackets. I The brack- "et. arms may also be as readily removed-from their hingesby removing the hinge pins. 1

The brackets may be used as bearings forth'e lower sash when the lower sash is manipulated to raise the upper sash, by raising the lowersash so that the top of the lower sash will engage said bracke ts'and force them upward with their connected upper sash. This is very desirable where no window pole or other means available is convenient for closing the upper sash.- The'fiange although not A shade-supporting bracket comprising two illustrated in Figure 7 may also be desirable as a bearing surface for this purpose, thus obviating the possibility of marring the lower sash where it would otherwise contact with the comparatively narrow edge of the bracket arm.

I have illustrated and described what I believe to be the best embodiments of my invention. I do not wish to be limited in patent protection, however, to the embodiments shown butywhat I desire to secure byLetters -Patent is set forth in the appended claims.

1. In a shade bracket, an attaching fixture, a bracket arm, hinge elements on said attaching fixtureand bracket arm adapted to cooperate with each other, a removable hinge pin adapted to hold -said attaching fixture and bracket arm in hinged relationship, and a stop extending from saidbracketarm adapted to limit the swinging of saidbracket arm in one direction, said bracket arm being adapted to swing to the vertical plane of its support in the other direction.

" 2 In a shadebracket, an attaching fixture and 'a Qbracket armhin'ged together and a stop exa bracket arm hinged together and a stop, adapted tofllimit-the swing of said bracket arm in one direction, said bracket arm being adapted to swing to aplane parallel to its support the other direction,.a.be aring means on said bracket arm adapted to be engaged by thelower sash of a window to raisethe upper sash. I

4. In combination with a window frame having upper and lower sliding sashes, a pair of shade bracketsea'ch embodying a bracket arm and an attaching fixture hinged together, said shade bracket being adapted to be secured to the upper sash, and said bracket arms being of such length as to extend through, the vertical 'plane .of the lower sash, and stops extendingfrom saidbracket arms adapted-.tolimitthe swing-of said respective bracket arms in one direction, said bracket arms beingadaptedto .swingto'the plane of the respective attaching fixtures in the other direction.

5. In ashade bracket, an attaching fixture and a-bracketarm hinged together, av stop extending from said bracket arm adapted to limit the swing of said bracket arm when in extended position, and means for holding, the bracket arm in'such position.

6. In a shade bracket, an attaching fixture and a bracket arm hingedv together, a stop extending fromsaid bracket arm adapted to limit the swing of said bracket arm inone direction, said bracket arm being adapted to swing to a plane parallel to its support in the other direction'andrest againstthe sash on which it is mounted.

7. In a shade bracket, an attaching fixture and albracket arm hingedtog'ether, and a fastener extending from the bracket "arm adapted to engage with the attaching fixture 'to hold the bracket arm in outwardly'extended position.

hinged members, one of said members having a v:recessin its surface, and a flange on the, other .member adapted to engage a wall ofsaid recess to hold the members in approximately parallel positions. I
